Intended Use / Indications for Use
The NextAR™ Knee Platform is intended to be used to support the surgeon during total knee replacement procedures by providing information on bone resections, ligaments behavior, instrument and implant positioning.
The NextAR™ Knee Platform is intended to be used in combination with NextAR™ stereotaxic instruments and general surgical instruments to implant the GMK® Sphere Total knee system ligament balancing. As an optional display, the smart glasses can be used auxiliary to the NextAR™ to view the same 2D stereotaxic information as presented by the NextARTM Platform.
The smart glasses should not be relied upon solely and should always be used in conjunction with the primary computer display.
The MyKnee® NextAR™ cutting guides include a camera/target holder and a PSI MyKnee® cutting guide both for tibia and femur. The MyKne® cutting guides must be used as anatomical cutting blocks specific for a single patient anatomy, to assist in the positioning of total knee replacement components intraoperatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting.
The MyKnee® PPS NextAR™ blocks include a PSI MyKnee® pin positioners block both for tibia and femur. The MyKnee® PPS NextAR™ blocks must be used as anatomical Pin positioners blocks for a single patient anatomy, to assist in the positioning of total knee replacement components intraoperatively and in guiding the marking of bone before cutting.

Device Description
The NextAR™ TKA Platform is a CT based computer-assisted surgical navigation platform used in total knee replacement surgery and includes the following components:
- Navigation software which displays information to the surgeon in real-time;
- Augmented Reality glasses;
- Optical tracking system;
- PC based hardware platform;
- MyKnee NextAR Cutting Blocks (PSI) an option;
- MyKnee NextAR Pin Positioners (PPS) - an option; and
- Reusable surgical instruments for total knee replacement procedures.
NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based is available on the US market via the clearance - K193559.
NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI free is available on the US market via the clearance - K202152.
The system operates on the common principle of stereotaxic technology in which markers are mounted on the bones and an infrared camera is used to monitor the spatial location of the markers. Tracking sensors attached to the bones enable the surgeon to view the position and orientation of bones and instrumentation relative to preoperative data in real-time while performing the surgical procedure. The tracking sensors are provided sterile. In NextAR TKA MyKnee PPS, subject of the submission, the placement of the sensor is performed by the use of reusable metal instrumentation used in the PSI free version (NextARTM TKA Platform, K202152).
The NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based, PSI free and now NextAR™ TKA MyKnee PPS aid the surgeon in executing the surgical plan by visualizing all the information in real time in a screen monitor. Utilizing the approach NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI based (K193559) the placement of the implants is performed by cutting the bones using MyKnee® NextAR™ Cutting Blocks and, optionally, utilizing the approach NextAR™ TKA Platform PSI free (K202152), the placement of the implants is performed by cutting the bones using navigated reusable surgical instrumentation where the registration of the CT scan of the patient's anatomy is performed by executing the NextAR registration algorithm. Now, NextAR™ TKA MyKnee PPS fuses from both PSI and PSI free method. NextAR PPS helps the surgeon to place the metal fixation for the sensor and the pins to place the standard or micrometric cutting guides to reproduce the preoperative planning.
Same reusable surgical instrumentation (provided non-sterile) guided by the tracking sensors can be used also for recut. Although the position of the implants can be validated to assess the correct
execution of the planning, the surgeon can change the surgical plan intraoperatively by analyzing the 3D models of the patient, the CT scan, and the 3D geometry of the implants.
The MyKnee® NextAR™ Pin Positioners, manufactured from medical grade nylon, are single use patient-specific blocks which are designed from patient CT images. They are intended to position the pins for placement of the standard instruments and for the infrared technology. The blocks are provided sterile via gamma irradiation or non-sterile.
The surgeon can choose the desired approach, PSI-based (clearance - K193559), PSI-free (clearance - K202152), or PPS now under submission.
